  1. Who do you usually ping?

    …when you need to spontaneously check if you can see the WAN from the #cmdLine of a system.

    For me it's usually ping cnn.com.

    I guess it was cuz it is short and quick. I've been using that for at least 28yrs. Just tradition now. I hope they don't stop responding to ICMP requests. lol

  2. lnav (https://lnav.org/) is brilliant!

    If you have to wade through log files in the terminal, like you sometimes do, this tool is indispensible. I can filter and zoom in on exactly the stuff I'm interested in, and even run SQL queries against the log!
